ABSTRACT
Thirty-five tigliane diterpenoids and two ent-kaurane diterpenoids were isolated from the leaves of Croton damayeshu, and, among them, compounds 1-10 were characterized as new tigliane diterpenoids. The structures of compounds 1-10 were determined by analysis of their HRESIMS, NMR, and ECD data and by chemical methods. The isolates were assayed for their larvicidal, antifungal, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities, and compounds 8-10 were found to possess larvicidal activities against Plutella xylostella with LC50 values of 0.19, 0.16, and 0.26 µM, respectively, comparable to the LC50 of 0.14 µM for the positive control, flubendiamide.

Four new triterpene glucosides (1-4) were isolated from the 90% ethanol extract of Salacia cochinchinensis, together with five known compounds (5-9). The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic analysis including HRESIMS, IR, 1 D and 2 D NMR analysis. All isolates were assayed for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Compound 9 showed remarkable α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 0.31 µM, and the triterpene glycosides (1-5) exhibited moderate α-glucosidase inhibitory activity.
